It's out of black ink, which you can get for less than $20 for a full cartridge (printer came with starter cartridges anyways). I haven't printed a single color photo, so color ink is pretty much full. Cheapest price this retails for both in stores and online is $70. Print quality is excellent and probably one of the best printers for general usage. Printer received a relatively excellent rating and review from CNET.
